A total history of Rome.

ROME: TOTAL HISTORY!

Are you annoyed with the fact the Rome is covered in one history lessons and that all you learn is the name Julius CeAser? Are you annoyed that one of the great empires on the earth has been so lightly forgotten?

We are here to put a stop to that and provide a great resource for all you Roman knowledge, whether it is for school or curiosity. We will show you every aspect of Rome!

This will all be put into a website for everyone to view, if it becomes popular we will .com it and have our own professional team and perhaps start on Napolean ot WW1.

But this project will take about a year with a small team, if we can get some forums and about twenty team members we can cut that time in half and know alot more about the worlds best civilisation.

Here are what we need:

Researchers:

Lord of War
Maximus
Sqeuakus Maximus
Captain-Tigurus
HomerReborn.

Concept artists:

Public relations:


So my fellow Romans! Do we let this great empire die!? Or shall we raise it once more!?

[Maximus]

I think that is a great idea! it really gets me mad that there arent any ancient history courses at all in my high school anyway, though i am not too great with computers, as far as modding and making web pages and that kind of thing, i would be more than happy to do some research for the project. count me in

[Tom Paine]

Me too; one volunteer for research. Although it would be a big topic to cover; when would it cover from and too? Would it cover religion and mythology? Politics? The language? Literature? What would come under the topic of Roman, given that the word casts a very wide net.

Sounds like a plan my friend. Dont have the time to help out manpower wise but I do have suggestions.

Perhaps organise it with subsections ie.

Military ------>Punic war/Persian War etc.
Political ------>Sulla/Caesar/Octavian etc.
Lifestyle -----> Aqueducts/Food/Entertainment etc.

Just an idea....

[Tom Paine]

On the other hand tose topics do tend to run into each other a lot; how do you define which one each part falls into?

[Carousel]

Well if its web based then just have links running throught the text

[Tom Paine]

True. I'm stupid, so disregard the problem; but take the solution into account...

[boranchistanger]

I'm doing a whole history of Europe for my European History website. After a whole two weeks of work I've gotten to the death of Augustus. I've requested some experts from that time period to check on the work so I can expand and truly create a good history of Rome.

If we make it as a forum we can have subforums such as:

Military
Timeline etc

As we make a new post for each aspect under the proper headings it would grow and i think this project will take about 6months to a year to complete. But im up for a challenge.

[Tom Paine]

Possibly more than that. But yeah, lets gfo for it; rise to the challenge. But first recruit more people to write, research, and set up the whole thing.

[Lord_of_War]

Why dont we spread to every Roman game or history forum we can find.

We must gather the team before work can start.

[Captain-Tiguris]

I will help as a military research man.

This will be an immense task, or are we doing the main historical standpoints or the whole thing?

[Lord_of_War]

You will be a researcher but you will not be given one topic. For all you know we may make you research Tiberius..... but either way, you are a researcher.

[Tom Paine]

Actually you are going to need people to give a general area of preference; it is where they would be most productive, really. Then you assign a subarea within the general topic.

[Captain-Tiguris]

Soo...what are we putting together? A whole history of every detail? Or simply the most imporant/important events?

[Lord_of_War]

I will, but until; we have gathered enough people, we cant decide. When we start the project. (soon) categories will be assigned to people depending on what they like. But at the moment we cannot give them.

The history is going to have everything we can do. Thats why we need a big team. We will do a timeline, battle events, emperors, aqueducts..... gladitorial games. Every single detail we can do.

Also, i am going to start on some team forums so that we can get this up and running soon.

[HomerReborn]

I would love to volunteer for research. I would especially like to cover: Formation-Kings, Kings-Republic, and Republic-Empire. After Empire, I'm a bit rusty. But I read history everyday that deals with the previous time periods.

Anything I can do to help .

[Lord_of_War]

Welcome to the team HomerReborn. Do not forget, the internet is at your mercy. But most will be given the topics they ask for and perhaps asked to touch on others.

[Tom Paine]

Aaaah, the internet. Boon of many research projects. Bane of others. be careful what sites you enter.

Just to put in a bid for a general area: mythology and religion. This includes the religion.

[Lord_of_War]

Every single thing, but before we do anything like that i think we should all work together to create a detailed history on how Rome was created. Perhaps then we can get a sub forum in this forum but that is hoping high.
